One of the characteristics of the Catalina 385 which struck me was the narrow gunwales to the point you ad to walk one rot in front of the other, and the stays were in the way when going forward. Also the cabin top was rounded and sloped at an odd angles so you could not get a good footing or stable base when on top of it working on the boom, mast.

These two are safety concerns for me.
